Ben McLemore’s latest stretch of games is a testament of how far the sharpshooting guard from Kansas has come since his days with the Sacramento Kings.
During Houston’s six-point victory over the Phoenix Suns, McLemore scored 27 of the Rockets’ 38 bench points, while shooting 10-for-15 (66%) from the field, 5-for-9 (55%) from behind the arc. Two nights prior, he scored a game-high 28 points in a victory over the Raptors on a career-best 8-for-17 (47%) from deep. This marked the first time in his career that McLemore scored 25 or more points in consecutive games.
